Increasing hunger and fear

rs. Today I had a very stressful day. The refugees had a bad mood because they are at the end of their tether. They do not know where they can go. I had to use all my skills to keep them calm. I can understand them very well and can imagine what goes on in their minds. You can see their fear in their eyes. They start to doubt themselves. They nearly crushed me when they pushed forward in the food line. They are so hungry and always fear that there will not be enough at the end, although we have enough reserves, because we know that the number of refugees is increasing daily. - The picture below shows a young student who is sponsered by a German family.
